Tag Archives: cannoli cupcakes

I love cannoli. I have a friend that dearly loves them and recently celebrated a birthday. I decided to make cannoli cupcakes for his birthday. I must say they were a success. Chocolate cupcakes with cannoli whip cream frosting.

Chill mixing bowl and attachment for minimum of 30 minutes. Mix marscapone cheese, Grand Marnier and vanilla together quickly. Over mixing will cause the marscapone cheese to become watery. Add powdered sugar and mix. Pour in heavy cream and whip until it’s very stiff. Place in piping bag and frost cupcakes (I used a 1 M tip). I sprinkled mini chocolate chips on top. I also drizzled chocolate sauce on top of the cupcakes. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!

*This is an orange liqueur. If you prefer not to use this in your frosting, use additional teaspoon of vanilla.
